Smart dialing problems Colombia

I am a BB 8320 user in Colombia, with COMCEL as my service provider. In Colombia, each cellular service provider has a unique carrier code which must be used to dial internationally. The COMCEL code is 00444, which means that the code 00444 must be dialed before entering the country and city code when dialing internationally.
There are two problems that I am faced with; 1) all my contacts have been entered in my previous contacts data base (which I would like to import into my current BB) using the internally accepted + for international dialing, which will work in most countries without the unique carrier code system, and 2) If I enter my international contact numbers using the 00444 in my contacts database, I will have to manually redial them when I am outside of Colombia. If I enter them using +, the number cant be dialed when within Colombia.
I have activated Smart Dialing and this does no do the trick, as I still must enter 00444 before any international phone number.
The only work around I could think of is to enter two numbers for each of my contacts, one for use in country, and one for use when outside the country. This would not appear to be the most efficient way to do things.
Can anyone suggest a work around that would allow me to use the + symbol in my contacts, and one have to enter the number once and not have to manually redial? Are there any other countries where these carrier codes cause a similar problem?
Thanks

I would suggest what you mentioned as blackberry can support multiple numbers in one contact, so you would only have one contact for say John Smith... but a contact for in country and out of country. Aside from that, I dont believe there has been an app developed for this specific issue.

NOKIA 500: Smart dialing stopped working after con...

I'm having lots of problems with this phone. First, mail inbox mess, with yahoo accounts not syncing at all or ActiveSync problems...
In this case, the smart dialing option stopped working. This happens when I restore contacs from a backup file. I know because I made a hard reset *#7370# and until I restored the contacts, the search function worked. Please, work around this bug.

This process and experience is ridiculous at this point after numerous, unsuccessful tries.
Update:
Yet again I deleted the \cities folder & qf file from my memory card. I ran Ovi Maps, my cities folder was re-created, I went to My Position and got the expected red dot. Closed Ovi Maps, enabled Bluetooth, connected with the NMT tool then re-ran the Nokia Map Loader.
Surprisingly, the Nokia Map Loader appeared to connect fine with my device without error. When I selected USA Maps, the tool started downloading, got past the half way point and I saw as message stating "unpacking files". It was actively copying whatever part of the downloaded files it had grabbed to my memory card. Great, or so I thought, as this is as far as I've gotten in the last 48 hrs.
I then got an unexpected error in the Nokia Map Loader and the app closed. The error log is in the attached text file on this thread. (EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV))
I restarted the Nokia Map Loader and got the same error to reappear immediately but it re-connected with my device. This is the only app crashing like this on my Mac and giving this error. Previously, the error was EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT).
Now I'm quite annoyed that the Nokia Map Loader does NOT pick up where it left off in the download process before the app crashed. Therefore, I'm attempting to re-download US Maps for the final time, all 1.5GB of it. Hopefully it will complete this time.
Not a good Nokia experience regarding mapping updates at all, at least in the Mac environment.

I check any possible where to find out the smart dialing options, even I call my service provider China Mobile for help but no way to enable the smart dialing function display. I also update the software, re-install the OS, but the problem still there.
Andy-bb, from the Phone app, when you swipe down from the top and tap the Settings icon, please list here what you see on the screen, what is in the list?
Or better yet, please take a screen shot of that screen and post it here in the forums? you will need 10 posts here to post the image from your computer, or upload the image Flickr or a file sharing site and place the link in your post.

Smart dialing broken after update to 10.2.1.2179

I just upgraded to 10.2.1.2179 on a new Z10.
Just before the upgrade, the smart dialing feature was working.
Just after the upgrade, the smart dialing feature is misbehaving.
Before upgrade:
I have a Canadian humber entered as x416-000-0000 in my contacts.
I have the Office Extension Access Number set as 732-111-1111.
In the native phone app, I go to contacts and choose x416-000-0000.
The result is that 732-111-1111 is dialed first (it's actually my Vonage number),
there is a three second pause, and then 416-000-0000 is dialed.
I'm connected to the Canadian number through Vonage.
(This is, or was, a good way to code a common calling card number
with a minimum of fuss ... only adding the "x" in front of the out-of-country contacts.)
After upgrade:
The Canadian number is still the same.
The Smart Dialing preferences are all the same.
I choose the same number to call.
Instead of dialing 732-111-1111x416-000-0000 (the old, correct behavior),
the phone instead dials 416-000-0000x416-000-0000.

Having a similar maybee the same problem. Trying to update Z-10 from 10.1.0.2019 to 10.2.2179 on AT&T. Repeated attempts give the same error message:' An error has ocurred while downloading software for your device (etc-etc.)" Tried updating from Blackberry Link desktop and Blackberry,com website several times each with same failed outcome. Tried this several weeks ago, it failed then so retried it this evening and it failed again. To echo the sentiments of the previous poster, This can't be this hard... And why would a WiFi site be more stable than a WAN broadband connection? Makes no sense. C'mon folks! Make this easy, OK?
Thanks!
Updating via WiFi eliminates third party software 'Link', the broadband connection is still being used otherwise you would be charged for data.
The first time I upgraded, Link failed and WiFi succeeded.
If you want the latest version 10.2.1.2941 you can install it via 'Sachesi' (see previous posts), or wait for AT&T to release it at the end of June.

Smart Playlist Problems (Since Ver 5)

I have come across a problem, which I believe started when I installed Version 5.
I have many SMART playlists set up that are really for my iPod usage. They are set to pick certain tracks that have not been heard in xxx amount of days, and usually set to a certain number of songs, or a particular amount of time.
The ones I use most often:
SLEEP MUSIC - a playlist of random songs not played in the last 5 days limited to 90 minutes. I listen to this when I go to bed.
WORK MUSIC - a playlist of 100 random songs not played in the last 5 days. I play this through my inMotion dock at work.
Previously, all the smart playlists worked fine. When the songs were played, the playlist would update on the iPod and the next time I would enter that playlist on the iPod, the tracks would be different.
It still works this way as long as I don't connect my iPod to my PC and sync with iTunes. If I do, it always resets the iPod playlists to the songs that appear in the iTunes library. I rarely use these playlists on the PC, so they almost always stay the same.
It seems like in previous versions, iPod would update the iTunes library and the smart playlists would also be updated in iTunes, so that the iPod versions of the playlists would continue to be random. But now, if the playlist is different on the iPod, it will not transfer over to iTunes. Instead, the iTunes playlist is copied back over to my iPod, and I keep getting the same playlists over and over.
This is a major annoyance, as I usually sync my iPod every day since I am constantly updating my library.
I've also noticed that when I synch my iPod, it is copying over songs that are already there, and it always seems to be copying songs I recently played in the iTunes library.
I know that if the tag info is changed, or I add album art to a track, it will be copied over to the iPod again, but I am not making any changes to these tracks, just playing them in iTunes. I don't know if this is related to the smart playlist problem or not.
I thought about unchecking LIVE UPDATE on those playlists that cause a problem, but that doesn't work, as now I'd ALWAYS have the same playlist.
So, my next thought is to use the "Only update selected playlists" option in the preferences to exclude those playlists that have this problem. If I do this, will new music I add still be copied over to my iPod?
Has anyone else encountered these problems?
FYI - I have not updated to the latest iPod update because of smart playlist problems people were having. I have version 1.1 on my 60GB photo. Would updating perhaps fix this problem?
My bottom-line thought on this is that iTunes updates the iPod, but the iPod no longer updates the iTunes library as it previously did. My reasons for thinking this are 1) The playlist problems I am having as stated above, and 2) I notice when I change the ratings on the iPod, they are not changed in iTunes. I am going to do a test and change the rating on a track on the iPod, then I will synch my iPod to see if the track is updated in iTunes, or the file is copied back to the iPod with the old rating.

Reagrding tracks being copied over again, I've seen another post in iPod Lounge where that person indicated the same thing. He stated that the play count was not being updated between the iPod and iTunes, but that the tracks were being copied over again. This sounds like a good explanation of this problem.
I have now noticed many of the tracks which I know I have played in the past show a "0" play count. Are the play counts kept in the iTunes library files (iTunes.xml and iTunes.itl)?
I always save the library files, so that when I reinstall iTunes I can just copy these 2 files back to their proper locations and I have my entire library intact - playlists and all. My music library is on a different drive.
Anyway, I KNOW I have played these tracks on the iPod, and yet they show unplayed on iTunes. This is probably another symptom of the re-copying tracks problem.

My Z10 does not have a setting of "smart dialing"

hello, I use Blackberry Z10, mode number STL100-2, software verison 10.1.0.4181. however in the phone application,when I tap down the setting options, i could not find "smart dialing". because when the caller calls, even though it is saved on my contact book, the contact name cannot show up. I guess because I saved the number with a country code and when the caller calls the country code does not show up and thus no contact name. please tell me how to enable the "smart dialing" opition on my phone. I just could not see it on the phone setting. I am in China and my country code is 86. thanks.

The only thing I know otherwise is to backup, wipe the device, and load a fresh OS to the device.
If you need help with that, post back with the OS installed currently at Options > About

Smart dialing not working for me

I have Alltel, which requires 10 digit dialing. I turned on the smart dialing feature, and entered my area code. But every time I dial a 7 digit number, I just get an error message from Alltel that I must use 10 digits. Is there a trick to getting smart dial working?

Odd, I don't have the "use 1 for National Dialing" setting.
Perhaps you should turn that to Yes.

How to enable smart dial in N8

The Nokia N8 is supposed to have a smart dial function but I am not able to enable it. Can anyone point me to the correct instructions to do so?
Thanks a lot in advance.
PS. I am in Malaysia and could it be the function is only enabled for certain regions?
Current Phone: NOKIA N8 (Best phone ever)

Smart dialing was one of the eagerly awaited features for me! I was a bit angered to find smart dialing missing in my N8. Since it was not available in my N86 as well but available in bugget/entry lever samsung phones!!!
As as anternative you can use Youlu address book for symbian which has a *VERY* fast smart dialing option and very fast threaded (conversation) chat interface too. I have been using it for very long in my N86 and works great.
It has added voice record feature and contracts/SMS cloud sync feature. It's has nice feature too. And the good thing is that every option that is not needed can be disabled

Smart Form problem with address layout

Hello everyone,
I need your help please for a smart form problem. We need the address layout for great britain with street1, street2 etc. but currently street2 is alligned before street1.
We are using the FM ADDRESS_INTO_PRINTFORM (SAP standard address node) and according to the documenation the layout for GB is different as we see it currently.
We have checked the sold-to and all contact persons, they have as country GB and language EN maintained.
In customizing for address screen layout there is nothing chosen (tested to set up Europe, but did not change anything).
For the customizing 'specify my countries...' we have maintained GB as country with the address layout key 006, vehicle country key GB and language key EN.
For the described setting shouldn't there be designed the address in our smart forms according to 006? Anyhting in customizing we missed?
Thanks a lot for your answers.
Torsten

Hi,
Try to use line priority of FM, below is a brief of documentation. You can read it more in FM documentation:
Control Parameters
See also the parameter documentation.
ADDRESS_TYPE - Address type (from 3.0C)
There are three types of address:
Address type '1': addresses of firms or organizations; the address
structure which is used in most SAP applications as 'Address'.
Address type '2': address of a person
Address type '3': work address, usually the address of a contact person
in a company
The default value SPACE for the address type is handled like type '1',
and is needed for the upwards-compatibility of the function module.
Which parameters are used for which address type is explained in the
ADDRESS_TYPE parameter documentation.
The three character "address layout key" of the recipient country (LAND1) controls which of the available country-specific routines is used to format addresses for the country in question. This key is stored in field T005-ADDRS and is entered in Customizing under Global settings -> Set countries -> Define countries, on the detail screen under "Address layout key".
Keys for customer routines in the SAP enhancement SZAD0001 can be
maintained via the transaction SM30 (extended table maintenance),table
name T005A, in the customer name range, and be assigned in country customizing.
The address attributes are passed in the structures ADDRESS1 (type 1), ADDRESS2 (type 2), ADDRESS3 (type 3) or ADRSWA_IN (type SPACE).
NUMBER_OF_LINES (ADRSWA_IN-ANZZL)
The number of lines available for the address layout. If the number of
lines is not sufficient for the complete layout of an address, then
lines are consecutively suppressed according to the rules of the country in question. Use the parameter LINE_PRIORITY (ADRSWA_IN-PRIOR) overrules the standard sequence in which the output lines are to be suppressed.
LINE_PRIORITY (ADRSWA_IN-PRIOR)
If not equal to SPACE, this field overwrites the standard sequence in
which the lines are suppressed if the available number of lines ANZZL is
insufficient.
The standard sequence is defined as follows:
Type 1:   'AP43HRT7I86LC2BS5O'       (GB: 'APRT4327I86CBS5LO')
Type 2:   'APHRT7I86LCBS5O'          (GB: 'PRT7I86CBS5LO')
Type 3:   'APF43HR7I86TLC2BSND5O'    (GB: 'APRT4327I86CBS5LNDIO')
where (if they occupy a line of their own):
A = Title
P = Mandatory empty line 1
F = Function of the contact person in the company
4 = Name 4
3 = Name 3
H = Different city
R = Region
T = District
L = Name of country
C = Postal code
T = District
7 = Street 3 (field STR_SUPPL2)
I = Street 5 (field LOCATION)
8 = Street 4 (field STR_SUPPL3)
6 = Street 2 (field STR_SUPPL1)
L = Country
C = Postal code
2 = Name 2
B = PO Box
S = Street or PO Box
5 = c/o name
N = Name (and title) of a person
D = Department
O = City
Which of these attributes are available for maintenance can vary. All
fields exist in Business Address Services.
STREET_HAS_PRIORITY (ADRSWA_IN-WAREN)
'X': Street has priority over PO Box (delivery address for example)
' ': PO Box has priority over street. This is the default value.
regards,

Anyway to disable Smart Dialing and add Edit before dial in phone dialer

Is there any way to disable Smart Dialing in OS 10.2, my old BB with OS 7 can set the country code to "null"
The feature is annoying as in Greater China, we have have 1 sim card with 4 nnumber for HK, China, Taiwan and Macau all with different country code. The smart dialer alway add the country code to the phone number and call dial unsucessful.
Also in old OS 7 it allow edit before dial, but in OS10.2 I can never edit a phone number after paste in phone dialer, since here we always need to change country code, area code, add a "+" etc

I would suggest what you mentioned as blackberry can support multiple numbers in one contact, so you would only have one contact for say John Smith... but a contact for in country and out of country. Aside from that, I dont believe there has been an app developed for this specific issue.
